okay, seriously....

So baby still is not here... but the good news is it is Friday... and according to Faith, the all-knowing-soon-to-be-big-sister, "Baby is coming today." For some reason, when we were talking on Monday, Faith was insistent the Baby was coming Friday. Last night we inquired again...[please keep in mind our 2 1/2 yr old does not yet 'grasp' the concept of 'days of the week' she may say days, but not in order, nor does she really get it unless we are telling her what day it is] so, back to last night...

Faith is in her 'jamas' getting ready to brush her teeth and we ask..

"Faith when is the baby coming"

"Tomorrow" - she says like we are so annoying

"Friday" - she clarifies as if we were confused

we will see....

updates:had our doctor appointment on Wednesday & he pretty much explained that if I was any further I would be in labor, so it really is just a matter of time. He won't let me go more than a week past our due date, so this is the 'plan' per say...

I go back Monday to see him and he is going to try something my NC OB/GYN did before I had Faith...warning***details following*** basically he is going to naturally try to kick start things by messing with some of the membranes. It worked with Faith, it's natural and we will see. Hopefully it brings baby into the world on his/her own over the next few days. The next step is going to schedule a 'natural' induction pitocin-free[hopeflly] for Thursday morning. Thursday because it is the latest day possible to schedule this sort of thing and we want to give him/her a chance to arrive on his/her own.

Personally, we are praying hard for the baby to come without our 'planning.' Pregnancy is one of those beautiful mysteries of life when you truly get to let things happen in God's time and be patient. We were so blessed with Faith, arriving on her due date, my water breaking (which only occurs in about 10% of women), labor being under 8 hours, and not having to use any pain meds.... all credit to God for those things....we are just praying for similar blessings this time around. We know God's plan is Perfect and we are open to it, we are just praying we are blessed with another successful arrival of #2, medication free, healthy & happy. God is good and God is great, we have faith He will provide for us all we need to bring baby#2 into this world.... hopefully soon.

Happy Friday everyone...
